Xu, Chi. [On American literature. Meiguo wen xue]. [ID D29574].
"My knowledge of American literature had been very much muddled. For a good example, I did not take Mark Twain seriously at all. I thought he was but an author of children's literature, or a great humorist, at most. Recently, I have begun to see that Lincoln, Whitman, and Mark Twain constitute an ever illuminating trinity that embodies the spirit of America as nation."
